When Lilia ended the call with Claire, then Harold his gaze towards her. "What is it? Are you going to meet her tomorrow?"
Lilia nodded slightly, and told the photo session that her brother-in-law had prepared.
Hearing this, Harold narrowed his eyes. "When will you accept the next job?"
Lilia smiled. "This isn't a job, it's my sister-in-law's bridal boutique shop, so I don't charge at all."
Harold glanced at her with clear eyes. "It seems that you have tried on the wedding dress?"
"Well, I tried the sample, it's not bad."
Seeing her calm appearance, Harold suppressed the suspicion in his heart. He raised his wrist to check the time. "What time is tomorrow? I'll bring Dylan to help."
Lilia pondered for a few seconds, shook her head and refused. "No need, sis Claire said that she has already arranged for a makeup artist, and since this is only to help her, don't waste company resources!"
Harold's thin lips squirmed. Staring at her indifferent and persistent brows, he gave up the idea.
…
The car then drove them to Gaia first, and when Lilia finished changing her clothes, she drove back to Villa Lakeside.
Lilia entered and handed her lunch box to the maid.
She let Harold display the trophy in the company.
The maid stood in front of the door and saw her sad expression. She couldn't help but ask with concern, "Madam, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lilia shook her head and walked into the living room to look around. No changes whatsoever.
The long awaited figure was still nowhere to be seen.
It's already early May, when will he be back?!
The maid followed Lilia's back, and the weight of the lunch box in her hand made her realize that the model didn't seem to eat the food inside.
She opened her mouth but stopped talking.
After a while, when she raised her eyes again, she saw that Lilia had already gone up to the second floor.
Returning to the bedroom, Lilia sighed heavily.
The atmosphere at this awards show was so enthusiastic that she was a little dizzy from the noise.
Slowly walking to the end of the bed, she slept on her back, feeling a burst of exhaustion in her heart.
Lilia looked at every corner of the bedroom blankly, lowered her eyelids and remained silent for a while before reaching out and taking her cell phone from her bag.
There are seven messages displayed on the screen.
Lilia suppressed her heartbeat and opened it, only to find that there was still no news from Jean.
She didn't like to speculate on his own, so he immediately made a video call to the man.
After a minute, there was no answer.
Lilia's eyes flashed suspiciously, and she opened the call history again and called him.
However…. The result was the same.
Now, she couldn't stay calm anymore.
During this period of time, no matter how busy the husband is, they will never have time to lose touch.
But on the day she won the award, there was no news from him.
Lilia held her phone in a daze, and in a moment, she called Kenny.
On this business trip, Kenny doesn't seem to be following him.
But he is the assistant to the president, so he should know the most.
On the other end of the phone, the sound was very loud.
Kenny took the phone and walked for a while, then he asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Lilia was worried that it would interfere with his work, so she asked straightforwardly. "Kenny, is he busy today?"
Hearing the question, Kenny then replied. "I don't know anything about this. The president is working on a separate project, so there's not much information exchange with the head office."
Lilia couldn't get any useful news from Kenny, and faintly heard someone talking to the man again. She didn't want to bother him anymore, and hurriedly hung up the phone.
She sighed softly while holding her cell phone in her hand, mind wandering somewhere.
Suddenly, Lilia remembered something. The last time she lost contact with her husband was on the night she went to Milan for fashion week.
At that time, it was impossible to contact him, but the man appeared in front of the observatory the next day.
The next day...
Lilia recalled the details at that time, which were very similar to tonight.
She bit the corner of her mouth and comforted herself. "Maybe he was on the plane and he meant to prepare a surprise for me."
Although this kind of thought was a bit delusional, it was better than letting her mind wander to the wrong place.
Lilia suppressed her sorrow, adjusted her mood and changed into her pajamas. Then she went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Actually, many people couldn't sleep tonight.
At the same time, according to the Air Express report, due to flight control reasons to Surabaya Airport, several flights were delayed that night.
An internal employee at the airport said that that afternoon until three in the morning, a number of private jets arrived at Surabaya International Terminal.
The number was astonishing
. .....
The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning, Lilia was awakened by a knock on the door.
She was wearing her nightgown, her hands fluttering above her head to arrange her messy hair. She was surprised when she opened the door. "Sister?"
Outside the bedroom door, Claire stood in her working attire.
Lilia felt that Claire's outfit today was very formal and elegant.
The color of the rose red suit was brilliant, and it actually looked right on her.
Her waist was curvy and her neck was also decorated with a gold necklace.
Claire looked into Lilia's sleepy eyes, reached out and touched her cheeks. "Are you awake?"
Lilia nodded, and when she left the room, she asked, "Why did you come here so soon?"
"Is it too early? It's almost half past seven. Since I've asked for your help promoting my shop, of course I have to show my sincerity by picking you up in person!"
Claire's words made Lilia burst out laughing, and the two stood side by side. As she walked down the stairs, she joked. "What are you talking about… Families should help each other!"
"Even if it's a gesture to help, it won't hurt to show professionalism!"
The two came into the living room, and the maids brought two glasses of warm water in time.
After Claire sat down and looked at the layout of the villa, Lilia drank the water, and suggested, "Sis, do you want to have breakfast together before leaving?"
"Okay!"
After Lilia washed her face, she and Claire sat down at the dining table. A simple breakfast of bread and omelette was there for the two of them. "Where is the shooting location today?"
Claire swallowed her bread. "Batu Town in Coban Talun."
"Is it outdoors?" Lilia was a little surprised, she thought the wedding dress photoshoot would be in the studio.
Claire pursed the corners of her mouth, and a trace of scheming appeared in her eyes. "Outdoors are special. The flower gardens there are the best for wedding photos."
This is true!
Lilia heard Claire's explanation and nodded inadvertently. "I also saw a lot of people filming promotional videos in Batu city before. Since it's still May, it looks like the scenery in the city must be beautiful."
About half an hour later, Lilia put on loose clothes that were easy to change and left with Claire.
On the way, they sat in the car chatting. "Sister, have you heard from Jean recently?"
